We had a blast doorknocking in Lake Elmo today, and we look forward to meeting more of you, and listening to your priorities!

Recently toured Cub Foods in Cottage Grove to learn more about the grocery industry, discuss ways to make groceries more affordable, and hear how Cub supports local food shelves. Thank you to store manager Kari for the tour and Steve from the Minnesota Grocers Association for arranging the visit!

The girls and I enjoyed a fun fall day at Axdahl’s in Lake Elmo, exploring the pumpkin patch and corn maze!

Dakota County approved a maximum 18.5% property tax levy increase for 2027 - at a time when Minnesota’s $18 billion surplus could have been used to ease the burden on taxpayers instead of pushing more costs onto local communities. I will work to build a responsible State budget that delivers value for taxpayers and helps families keep more of their hard-earned money.

Recently visited the Washington and Ramsey County Recycling and Waste Center to discuss practical ways to reduce waste, limit landfill use, and protect our water for the future.

Recently visited the Dakota County 911 Dispatch Center to learn more about the systems and resources behind emergency response in our area. I appreciated hearing about their work and what they need to continue serving our communities.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families whose lives were forever changed. We honor the first responders and everyday Americans who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy. May we never forget their sacrifice.

As our kids head back to school, wishing every student and teacher a great school year ahead. Our kids are the future of our state - and that future is bright!

Grateful for the opportunity to visit REM Minnesota in Cottage Grove and spend time with the incredible people they serve and support.

Today marks one year since the Annunciation tragedy, when innocent lives were taken as children gathered to pray. We pray for those who lost loved ones and remember those who carry the pain of that day. fox9.com/news/annunciation-s…

I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Housing First. I'll continue working to make the dream of homeownership a reality.

Honored to attend the 24th annual Stillwater Veterans Memorial Benefit Dinner Cruise, recognizing the sacrifices made in service to our country.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). I’ll continue standing up for the small businesses that create jobs, grow our economy, and strengthen our communities.

Thank you to everyone who helped make National Night Out a success - it was great to connect with neighbors and celebrate our community.

We ran into some neighbors selling lemonade to support our local firefighters. It was great to stop by, support a good cause, and see our community standing together.

Thank you to the team at DaVita Kidney Care for the opportunity to tour your facility and connect with your care teams. I appreciated learning about the care you provide and will continue working to support policies that strengthen access to quality healthcare for our community.

Last weekend was a great celebration of the Fourth of July and America’s 250th birthday. It was great seeing so many people at the parades in Afton and Hastings - thanks to everyone who came out! I hope you had a chance to enjoy the holiday weekend with family and friends, and reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served our country.
